LANGER ECONOMY IS ATTACKED BY GRUM Nonpartisan Candidate for At- torney General Scores Governor's Record rstown, N. D., May 30.—(#)— Attacking the Langer administration, C. Liebert Crum, seeking the Repub- lican nomination for attorney gen- eral as a candidate on the “Thore- gen-for-Governor” ticket, declared here Wednesday night that “we are engaged in a crusade to‘rescue the Progressive movement from those who seek to capture and divert it to their own selfish ends.” ~ T. H. H. Thoresen, candidate for governor, and Lieut. Gov. Ole Olson, candidate for re-election, also were on the program. Crum sketched his record in office as state’s attorney of Grant county and asked support for the Thoresen ir at the June 27 primary elec- ion. A law passed by the last legisla- tive session giving the governor the Power of veto over the other two members of the industrial commis- sion drew fire from Crum. “By their fruits ye shall know them,” he said, “and the fruits of the Langer false economy seems to be made up of beer inspectors, comfortable ex- pensive cars for their tours of snif- fing at empty beer bottles, political Jobs, from five to 22 per cent assess- ments of payrollers, excess mill man- agers, and federal indictments.” Regarding his own record, Crum pointed out he is serving his second term as Grant county state's attor- ney, stating that since he has been in office “the bonded indebtedness of Grant county has been reduced $70,- 000, and at the same time taxes have been reduced so that in 1933 only one county in the state exceeded ca in the amount of tax reduc- “The present governor,” Crum as- serted, “no doubt would like to claim credit for this creditable tax reduc- tion, which is actual, and not mythic- al, but the people of Grant county know that its officials conducting the affairs made it possible, and that the governor had nothing to do with it.” Fire Causes $20,000 Loss in Ramsey Town Devils Lake, N. D., May 30.—(7)— Fire, fanned by a moderate east wind Tuesday night destroyed the com- Plete business block in the village of Penn, about 12 miles west of here, with damage estimated at $20,000. Starting in the rear room of Gess- ner Brothers general store, where a cream station was located, the blaze quickly spread to a vacant building, poolhall, small residence and the Penn State Bank. It was halted afte: consuming the barber shop in the rear of the bank. All buildings were of frame construction, covered with sheet iron. ‘The Devils Lake chemical truck Only the bank vault and a residence on the east end remain standing in the block. North Dakota Garden Chats Blossoms should be picked off newly set strawberry plants. However, ever- bearing varieties which produce blos- soms after the first of July may be allowed to produce a fall crop. If you are raising cabbage, do not wait until your crop is damaged by worms before putting out poison, Keep the plants well dusted with poi- son and the worms will never reach large size. If possible, irrigation should be provided for your garden. There is no place where irrigation will pay more. One good soaking at a critical time may double the yield of a crop, ‘or even make & failing crop do well. If well water is used for irrigation it is best to apply the water in the evening, running it on the ground around the plants. Then cultivate the surface slightly the next day. If you do not irrigate your garden be sure and give each plant plenty of space. Too thick planting without the necessary thinning later is often to blame for low yields. The extra plants are just as harmful as other ‘weeds. We never prune our tomato plants in any way but leave all the blossoms on and all the side branches as they naturally develop. In setting them the plants should be removed from the pot without disturbing the roots and set in the field with the general ‘soil level about one inch over the top of the ball of dirt put out with the plant. The soil is packed down very tightly. If the ground is dry we give} _ each plant a good soaking after it has been set. We always space our plants not less than 4x5 feet apart and do not prune them during the summer. Rutabagas need a cool climate such as we have here in North Dakota. A sandy soil is best. In a hot dry sum- mer, especially if grown on heavy soils, they are likely to be bitter. The neckless varieties as a class are earlier than the necked. To get well formed roots thinning is necessary. Im- proved Purple Top is one of the best varieties. Turnips are another root. crop of the same nature as rutabagas. Tur- nips like cool weather and mature quickly so are often sown early in the spring as a substitute for rutaba- gas before that crop is ready. They may also be sown in midsummer as a fall crop. Taking account of the shrubs at this time of year the Yellow Flowering Currant is easily the most attractive thing that we have. It seems to be wholly indifferent to drouth or cold. In bloom the plant is literally a mass of yellow gold. This shrub does not grow so tall but what it can be used for foundation planting and is equal- ly well suited to the shrubbery bor- der, It is the first thing to leaf out in the spring and seems never to be injured by frosts. The ordinary varieties of broccoli are of no value in North Dakota. ‘There is a new variety called Italian Green Sprouting, or Calabrese, which Produces heads similar to cauliflower except they are green and require no blanching. This variety seems to be @ surer producer of heads than cau- liflower. The heads taste like cauli- flower and doubtless are more valu- able as a vegetable, because with its green color it has vitamins not con- tained in the other plant. Gardners should try this new crop. It is raised the same as cabbage. Water Conservation Urged by Committee Washington, May 30.—(?)—A pro- gram of water conservation to avert permanent drouth disaster in the cen- tral west was urged upon the public works administration Wednesday by an unofficial house sub-committee of and reserviors. Representatives Hoidale (Dem.- Minn), Hildebrandt (Dem.-S. D.) and Sinclair (Rep.-N. D.) conferred with Col. H. M. Waite, deputy adminis- trator, and pressed for immediate ac- tion toward restoration of lake levels and construction of a series of dams an dreservoirs. The department's survey is expected to answer proponents of the Missouri river diversion project who fear North and South Dakota will ulti- mately become desert land if the pro- Posed Missouri river dam is not con- structed. Application {or $65,000,000 with which to carry out the diversion project had been before the PWA many months. —_—______- Strange But True | Stories of Life | (The Associated Press) | ENDS HUSBAND'S BOAST Bridgeport, Conn.—David S.
